I am contemplating attending Widener this Fall and wanted to reach out to anyone doing the same. I got wait-listed by Temple and haven't heard anything on that front. So, it looks like its Widener for now. Any thoughts on off-campus housing in Harrisburg? What kind of experiences have people had while attending Widener?

I've been accepted to Widener Harrisburg campus for Fall 2011. I got rejected from Temple and waitlisted at Villanova. Still waiting to hear back from Drexel. If I get in there most likely I'll end up going there in the Fall. I went to Temple for undergrad and am from the Allentown/Bethlehem area so Philly calls to me a little more than Harrisburg. But as of now it seems likely I'll be going to Harrisburg in the Fall. Can't speak for housing or for the campus life of Harrisburg but I guess I'll be looking into getting an apartment or town house with several ppl.

Getting wait-listed is a nightmare. I am in limbo about forking up the $400 deposit for Widener, in case I get into Temple. I was a bit apprehensive about applying to Drexel Law considering it only recently got ABA accredited and is not a member of AALS. I believe, a lot of good law schools require transfer students to be from schools who are ABA accredited and members of AALS. If, you have any thoughts about transferring later on you should think about this.

I made a campus visit and put my seat deposit down on fri. It was very nice, but also very quiet because it was the end of finals and I think most students had gone home already.As far as the job prospects, the admissions office has some stats but they're not very detailed. I don't have the paper with me now but I will try to post some stats when I get home.

Tell me about it. I can't blame the schools for the seat reserve price as a seat for a full year is a lot of money coming into them. I reserved my seat just in case but if I don't end up at Widener I'll miss that $400. lol Drexel is ABA accredited. If I transfer I'll be looking to transfer to Tempole or Villanova before Drexel. I dont know we'll see.
